Project System - Components

 Project Definition – Stores master data for the entire project, including overall start and end dates, project owner, project number, and description.

 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) – The hierarchy that the WBS elements are organized into. Breaks down processes into the smallest components or tasks.

 WBS elements – The building blocks of the project. They represent different phases or parts of the project. Each WBS element is a cost object. All project costs are posted to WBS elements.

 Network (optional) – The activities are linked together to create the network in the form of a PERT chart. SAP can determine the critical path from this.

Step 2 of Continuous Process



The master flow is computed using the MRP and capacity leveling.

 Capacity leveling: is determined in step 1 and balances the master schedule and plant capacity 

Material Requirements are passed to the procurement process R

Step 3 - Continuous Process



The process order is created production of the beer and manages the actual

 process order transforms materials and processes used with the master recipe into actual information that is needed to brew the batches of beer  contains master recipe data and workflow instruction  master recipe: description of materials needed in one production run (grain, purified water, hops, fermented sugar, barley malt)

Functional Areas:

R & D Marketing Production

• SAP uses a process-oriented view that considers costs on the basis of process organization across functions. Costs are debited to a business process based on its resource usage.

• The business planning and controlling scenarios in R/3 provide conventional cost center accounting capabilities but supplement these by allocating cost center costs to business processes.

1. Cost Object Controlling

•

Cost object controlling

is a part of product cost accounting that focuses on the economical creation of a product (called cost object). • It supplies key information for planning and monitoring of product costs. • Product cost controlling attributes the costs incurred in a company to its output units. (products, orders)

R

 SAP America, OS.PPT - 10/13/97, Slide 22

2. Profitability Analysis

•

Profitability analysis

carries out a profit analysis. Costs are compared to revenues. This is the last step in the settlement process.

• Profitability analysis takes an external viewpoint using actual data, by looking at market segments.

• We propose that CCBC’s profitability segments are based on product line. (Type of beer, pub, merchandise) Other options could be customers, activity, organization, geographical area, etc.

R

 SAP America, OS.PPT - 10/13/97, Slide 23

3. Profit Center Accounting

• The goal here is to have a structure according to profit responsibility. • Profit centers can be seen as investment centers. • Shows operating results from a management standpoint. • It is a statistical package, pulling data from different modules. • Data is primarily transferred from FI, SD, AM, and MM.

• Profit centers can be structured according to products, markets, or functions. We have chosen products.

FI

: Transfer of primary costs and revenues from customer invoice processing

SD

: Transfer of revenues and sales deductions (freight, discounts) as well as reserves (e.g. from rebate agreements) via invoice transfer.

MM

: Transfer of all costs from goods movements (consumption postings, materials receipt, invoice receipt, price changes/revaluation, inventory differences)

AM

: Availability of all profit-related data from the creation, utilization, and sale of capital goods
